What isn't fair is someone attempting to conduct a lawful activity being denied by an agent of the law who should be authorizing it. [i]That[/i] isn't fair. Or legal, I might add.

  • So is it fair to force the person into unemployment because they were determined to follow their religion? Or is it lawful to force them to directly disobey their religion which is protected by the Law? Wouldn't both be illegal?

  • [quote]If a Hindu works as a head chef in a restaurant that serves mainly chicken but then switches to lots of beef after he joins then should the restaurant be allowed to fire him for not doing his job and not serving beef because of his religion?

    Neither are illegal. When they agree to take the position, they understand their job description. Perhaps if they were opposed, they shouldn't have taken the job. That is [i]not[/i] the fault of the marriage applicant.

  • And if I was hired [i]before[/i] the law went through, such is the case of the Kentucky Clerk? By your logic, it isn't my fault.

    Of course, laws change all the time though. If you had objections, [i]you leave when the new policy comes into play[/i]. That's why employers distribute information regarding new, relevant legislation. By continuing employment, you consent to abide by the new rules. If a law didn't apply to a government employee because he became employed prior to the law, there'd be no point in passing or otherwise enacting the new law to begin with. As a government employee, you [b]have[/b] to uphold the duties of your position. I literally do not give a shit what someone's personal beliefs are -- they are obligated to carry out the functions of their employment. The law supersedes their qualms. A government employee who issues marriage licenses cannot deny them to a gay couple because of personal beliefs. Period. End of story.
